Rotten SoundCycles

This latest full-length from Finlands finest kicks off with a nod to the old school: 51 seconds of crawling chainsaw guitar grind thats equal parts Entombed and Carcass. Then, after taking a millisecond to turn things around, the band launch into their grindcore, which has always been second only to the mighty Nasum. With a crystalline production, this is far from sloppy underground grind; its delivered with precision and despite its simplicity, the band show their musical talents while playing both blindingly fast and, well, a bit slower: "Units, "Simplicity, heck, most songs here use both these approaches. "Days to Kill again references the old school before bringing the modern grindcore, and its in this mixture of sounds that Rotten Sound shine. These albums are starting to blur together but when its this good, and in a genre where innovation isnt always necessary, it really doesnt matter. Another deadly document from one of the best grind bands of today.
